Cool, maybe they will make more games now. Maybe if WoW has sex with Call of Duty we will get a cool game.

Well I guess this can't be that bad. I mean could the 2 teams work together to make a 1st person starcraft shooter? 
All though why didn't blizzard merge with Nintendo. Super Zergling Brothers anyone?

If the Activision CEO is smart he'll just let the Blizzard peoples do their thing and stick to the massive amounts of mediocre games they're good at.
Either way, we'll still have to see the much less awesome Activision logo much more often from now on.

You will not notice anything different. Both companies will keep their specific brands.

I love that. Blizzard screams "Everything is the same! Nothing is ruined!"
Besides that, did I see something about blizzard stock?

Great way to make the company prosper even further. Just like how Exxon and Mobil joined and is now one of the biggest companies and is currently the biggest oil company. Many companies are now doing this like the most recent one, AT&T and Cingular. Activision Blizzard might just be a new major company.
None.
It's not exactly a new trend.
None.
I never said it was. The most common thing is a major company takes over minor companies, but this is two successful companies merging.

OMG... Blizzard just threw there name away... I am beginning to have like 0 interest in them now...
None.
They didn't throw their names away. It is still Blizzard Entertainment. The only thing that is different is the stock company in which people identify and buy stocks from. They haven't even changed or fused anything together an are still working on seperate things. In the Questions and Answers, it shows that there will be no noticeable changes at all and no one will even get fired/ exchange/ etc.
None.
Heh... True Crime: Streets of Mar Sara...

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered 
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.
[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]
Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
